The MACBA renouncing the use of the chapel so it can be returned to the City Council is a prior step for it to be reclassified for medical use and for the new Raval Nord healthcare centre to be built there. Once its use is formally renounced, the administrative process will begin to approve the special urban plan for the Capella de la Misericòrdia and for the Catalan public health authority, Catsalut, to be granted use of it before the year is out.

Extension to the MACBA in Plaça dels Àngels

The extension to the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona will be created in the section adjacent to the Capella dels Àngels, in a new building in Plaça dels Àngels. The Commission for Ecology, Urban Planning and Mobility has given its initial approval for the modification to the General Metropolitan Plan to segregate the square and reclassify the section behind the Convent dels Àngels so the new MACBA building can go there. This will pave the way for a public tendering process for the project to unify the spaces of the Convent dels Àngels and construct the new building in Plaça dels Àngels.

Local residents demand a new primary healthcare centre for El Raval

The Raval Nord Digne! platform was the first public platform to collect the necessary number of signatures (over 3,750) to intervene in a full council meeting and urge the municipal government to extend the Raval Nord healthcare centre to the Capella de la Misericòrdia.
